Topsiders - Launch!

For a day that I can only describe as both insanely perfect and incredibly fast, last Saturday's launch of Topsiders was immensely successful. Not only did we have a great turnout, but we sold a whole stack of books. I couldn't have asked for more. 

And the fact that the Legume-team were in attendance only served to sweeten the deal. Their support helped calm the nerves of a certain writer at his first ever book signing. 

A big thanks to everyone that attended, and to all those that purchased the book. 

To others in Australia or overseas, you can purchase Topsiders here:

LegumeMan - Bathurst Journey

As I type this, the crew behind LegumeMan Books are heading to Bathurst for the launch of Topsiders, my debut novel. At around ten hours one way, it is a mammoth commitment, but something that is a testament to their spirit and support for this relatively unknown writer. Not only that, it speaks volumes for their loyalty toward Australian writers, especially ones under their wing.

To celebrate this occasion, they have been sharing photos from their trip on Facebook. 

Behold...

Again, I would love to see you at Books Plus, Bathurst tomorrow at 10:30 for the launch. 

For everyone else, you can purchase the book here:

Topsiders - First Proof Arrives From The Printers

Topsiders - First Proof 

I've just been informed that the first physical (proof) copy of Topsiders has arrived at Legumeman HQ!

As you can see from the photos, it is pure magnificence. From the spectacular chapter headings to the unique spine, all designed and brought to life by the wonderful team at Legumeman Books. 

The anticipation of holding it in my own two hands is almost too much to bear.

For those that have been waiting, we are almost there. 

Topsiders - Wrap-around Cover Released!

What you see above is the full wrap-around cover for Topsiders. I've only just been handed this image, but I'm sure you'll agree that it's simply stunning. 

Not long, people.  

Not long.

Halloween 2013 - Australia

Following on from Greg Chapman's lead (http://darkscrybe.com/2013/11/01/have-a-helluva-halloween/), I thought I would post some images from the Halloween gathering at our home. While Halloween isn't something that is widely supported here in Aus, we (in our family, anyway) love the excuse to dress up and throw a party. My daughter looks forward to Halloween more than she does Christmas. I couldn't be a prouder dad. 

Anyway, on with the pictures!

By the way, the first round of edits have been completed on Topsiders, and hopefully a release date shouldn't be far away.

I'll keep you posted ;)
